About Stellar Products
Founded
in 1992 by Chief Scientist, Dr. Donald G. Bruns, in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Moved to San Diego in 1994.
Don Bruns took his first planetary photos in the late 1960's, using a home-made 6" reflector, not even equipped with a clock drive. Using short exposures, he recorded the bands around Jupiter on very grainy, high speed black and white film.
He retired in 2014.
